Alicia JordanMay 2, 2014Plan an entire day to really take in all the Pacific War museum has to offer. And check their calendar for re-enactment weekends. Don't forget to check out the town of Fredericksburg also.
Austin American-StatesmanFebruary 14, 2012This museum in Fredericksburg is huge - it will easily take you an entire day to see all of the exhibits. Among the collection: a Japanese mini submarine used during the attack on Pearl Harbor.- CentralTexas RoadRelicsMarch 17, 2014This place is absolutely huge, make sure you have at least 4 hours to spend cuz you'll need it, or if you can, take two days. So much to see and so much to read!
Deven NongbriAugust 18, 2020Give yourself 3-4 hours for this museum - so much to cover with some real one-of-a-kind artifacts. Both kids, 11 and 14, loved it.- William P.December 8, 2012Don't rush into the museum. Spend some time in the courtyard and surrounding plaza. Lots of great commemorations and history to be seen here as well.
Kathryn AndersonFebruary 5, 2017Excellent museum. An almost overwhelming amount of information. The combat zone was my favorite part.
Fritztown JacksonSeptember 26, 2017Very well done. Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours there. Vets get in free!- Austin American-StatesmanFebruary 23, 2012Built in Adm. Chester Nimitz' hometown, this history-rich museum takes hours to go through. The new George H.W. Bush Gallery opened on Dec. 8, 2009, and includes 33,000 feet of exhibition on its own.
Pedro CortezJuly 6, 2013Outside of Pearl Harbor, that may be the coolest experience and recount of the war in the Pacific. Amazing!
Tanya CunninghamMay 24, 2015Such am emotional museum. Wonderful place to educate and show your support
Andrea McCoyApril 15, 2013Very moving, extremely well done. I cried several times. Spend on at least 3 hours and I didn't even read everything.....
- Kyle MahnkeFebruary 23, 2011Worth the drive from San Antonio. Very comprehensive and interesting. Check out the section on admiral nimitz. Very intersting man
Austin American-StatesmanApril 8, 2011Clear out a day - this museum is huge. Also, check out the re-enactments on museum property down the street.
Brian DupalDecember 27, 2010Best museum on the Pacific War since the new edition. Definitely worth visiting.
